From: Steven Rostedt The raw_init function pointer in the event is used to initialize various kinds of events. The type of initialization needed is usually classed to the kind of event it is. Two events with the same class will always have the same initialization function, so it makes sense to move this to the class structure. Perhaps even making a special system structure would work since the initialization is the same for all events within a system. But since there's no system structure (yet), this will just move it to the class. text data bss dec hex filename 5788186 1337252 9351592 16477030 fb6b66 vmlinux.orig 5774567 1297492 9351592 16423651 fa9ae3 vmlinux.fields 5774510 1293204 9351592 16419306 fa89ea vmlinux.init The text grew very slightly, but this is a constant growth that happened with the changing of the C files that call the init code. The bigger savings is the data which will be saved the more events share a class.
